1735 The merciless war, which claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of brave warriors, was not going to end. Neither the warriors of Limeria nor Sharyl were going to retreat. Sharyl's empire is great and powerful. They took everything and everyone, anyone, whenever they wanted. They became like this after the rise of the young emperor Sharyl Mideris. He was ruthless and unrestrained. His leadership abilities made the Sharils follow him. But Mideris wanted to become the most powerful ruler of all time. One day, his attention was attracted not by an ordinary amulet, which forced enemies to shake with fear, and allies to unquestioningly carry out the orders of the bearer of the amulet.In an instant, it seemed to Mideris that his dream had come true. But getting the amulet was not so difficult, and for one thing new lands would be conquered. But that’s not the problem! The kingdom in which this amulet is kept is Limeria. A Kingdom known as the most noble and brave Kingdom. And the war turned out to be not as simple as Mideris thought, and it lasted for eight whole years...

-Carry away the wounded! Don't allow enemies to enter the rearguard! Move! -Everyone was in panic, the commander could barely restrain his troops. For all eight years, neither side attempted to retreat. No matter how hard it was for the Limerians, they held on with all their might. Why were they so desperate to keep their enemies in line? It's all about nobility, every warrior was ready to give his life to protect an innocent smile without protective children, and that's the only way they withstood the pressure of Sharyl's Bloody Army.

“Commander, the vanguard will not withstand such pressure!” shouted the junior private.

- There is no choice! You can't let them into the rearguard. Where is the help?! - All the commander’s thoughts were to hold out until help came.

- Commander! Help will not come, they went to the west! - as it turned out, the Sharils also attacked from the west. But the western front could not stand it and urgent help was sent thereThe warriors were seized with fear, their fighting spirit was broken. Doubts gripped them... “will we be able to win?!” this thought ran through the mind of every Limeryan.

- What?! Damn it! Hang in there guys! We must reflect...KHAH - the silver sword pierced the battalion commander's stomach. Everyone was gripped by fear and despair.

- COMMANDER!!!!!!

- what do you owe? Hah-hahahahaha! You're all going to die, you pathetic dogs! Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

“Kha... you... you can’t...,” the commander squeezed out these words with the last of his strength, but to whom are they addressed? The Sharilians went for the girth! But! But They underestimated the warriors of Limeria. No one thought that the angry warriors, having lost their commander, would fight to the death.

-You! You bastards, how dare you attack our commander! You will pay for this! - These madmen! What's wrong with them?! As it turned out, the Commander was holding them back and when he was gone, the Sharilians saw the real faces of the crazy people about whom there were rumors. And those words... they were not directed at the Bloody Army, but at the noble descendants of the dragon themselves. These psychopaths enjoy a battle to the death, sparing neither themselves nor their enemies. They are covered up to their heads in the blood of hundreds of thousands of warriors. Just from one glance at them, the entire mood of Sharyl’s army sank to the bottom. This is no longer a war of conquest, it is rather a bloody massacre! What will happen next?How will this fierce battle turn out...

Meanwhile in Limeria...

- Hey, Liam! Come on faster! I'm sure mom cooked us some meat for lunch! -Feirin ran to the southeast of the village, where he lived with his mother.

- Take your time, Feirin! I'm not catching up with you! - Liam answered him. He was his childhood friend. Liam was alone, he lost his parents too early, everyone shunned him because of his appearance. Bright green hair, which is very rare in Limeria, too light skin and scarlet eyes, this appearance is not typical for Limeria. And only Feirin and her mother did not turn away from the lonely child, Aunt Venus took care of Liam as if she were her own son. So Liam gradually opened his heart to these people and for him Aunt Venus and Fairin became family

-Ahaha! Meat! Meat, yum yum! I can even smell the smell of stew from here!” said Feirin, he was a cheerful and cheerful child. His handsome face, bright blond hair reminiscent of the sun and emerald eyes made him stand out from the rest, but this was not a reason for

-Well, nevermind. “What a keen sense of smell you have,” Liam said and the boys ran towards Fairin’s house. The smell became stronger and stronger. And so the guys approached what looked like an old hut, but inside everything was, on the contrary, cozy and lively.

-Mom, we're home! We are very hungry!!! - Feirin exclaimed heading into the kitchen and from there a tall woman who looked to be thirty came out to meet them, this was Feirin’s mother Venus Serra -

- Hello, Aunt Venus.

- Hello, hello, come in quickly, the food will get cold. -The boys sat down at the table and began to eat. At this time, Mother Feirin was worried about something.

- Mom, why don’t you eat?

- A? No, everything is fine. Eat, eat,” the woman answered the unexpected question of her son.

After lunch the boys went to collect firewood in the forest. When they were about to leave, having collected a lot of firewood, Liam heard some rustling from the bushes. They slowly approached the bush where the sound came from. Taking the ax in his hands, Feirin prepared to defend himself, but Liam slowly and suddenly sharply cut down the bush with a sharp hand scythe. Unlike Feirin, he was weak, but brave and smart. Behind the bushes the guys saw a wounded man.He was on the verge of death, his wounds were very serious. Judging by his attire, he was from the enemy army, and even had a strange hair color reminiscent of flames. The boys were unable to identify him, as he was unconscious and covered in wounds of varying sizes. Fairin and Liam were terrified..

- Wha...What are we d-doing?! - Feirin asked in a trembling voice.

-What-what! Of course we'll leave it here. “It’s all right, he’ll die soon.” Liam said coldly and was about to leave when Feirin stopped him.- That won’t work! He's dying! Do you want him to die?!” Feirin exclaimed.

- Well, yes! He's from an enemy country! It would be stupid to take him to the village! What if he gets better and brings his army and destroys our village?! - the friend objected furiously. But Feirin did not want to leave the wounded man to die. All this time the wounded man heard their voices, but could not answer. Liam was unable to convince Fairin and finally help him in a friendly manner.

-First we had to stop the hospital. And then we will take it to our address. You can’t take him to the village! - the friend said in a raised voice, and Feirin was glad at such a wise decision of his friend.

- Bring me plantain, cloth and water. - Feirin ran to bring everything that Liam said.Liam and Feirin did everything they could, but they couldn’t stop the bleeding; the victim developed a fever from blood loss.

- Things are bad!!! He's lost too much blood, something needs to be done urgently, Feirin! - Liam was finally overcome with horror, the man would die in his hands! Unable to bear it, Liam made an oblique cut in his palm and let the wounded man drink his blood. They didn't know how to transfuse the blood and so Liam frantically made a hasty decision. After a while, Liam's eyes began to darken and he began to feel dizzy. For a moment it seemed to Feirin that the stranger’s body began to sparkle, but there was no time to find out.Feirin quickly realized what was going on and, after treating his friend’s wound, took them to the shelter. It was so spacious, cozy and clean, and there were two small beds. Fairin put a wounded man in one of the beds and his friend in the other, he quickly took the firewood to his house and told his mother that he and Liam would stay in their shelter and took food for 2 days. His mother was at first surprised, and then resigned herself to the children’s decision.Feirin quickly ran northwest towards the forest. Meanwhile, in the shelter, the wounded man came to his senses, the fever had not yet subsided, but he felt a little better. Looking around a little, the stranger’s attention fell on the peacefully sleeping Liam. The stranger wanted to get up, but no matter how much he tried, he could not get up. Because his body was too weak. Footsteps began to be heard from the street, this alerted the stranger, but in vain, it was Feirin.-Oooh, are you awake?! How are you feeling? Are you hungry? Are you dizzy? - Feirin noticed that the stranger’s eyes were the same scarlet as Liam’s. To the surprise of the stranger, the boy was kind and apparently worried about him. Unexpected questions rained down on him. He didn't know what to answer.

-Mhmgmmmm. Uhhhh. - Liam suddenly began to moan. The attention of Fairin and the stranger was diverted to the helplessly moaning Liam.

-Are you okay?! How are you feeling? Does anything hurt? - Feirin was puzzled, he visited them for four days. They were both severely weakened and passed out for four whole days.

“Water... water... water...” Liam said with difficulty.- Oh, water?! I’ll bring it now!,” Feirin ran to bring water, leaving Liam and the stranger alone.
